In an important ruling, the Supreme Court of India today held that direct evidence of demand of bribe is not necessary to convict a public servant under the Prevention of Corruption Act and that the such demand can be proved through circumstantial evidence.
A Constitution Bench led by Justice S Abdul Nazeer and also comprising Justices V Ramasubramanian, BR Gavai, AS Bopanna, and BV Nagarathna said that the proof of demand and acceptance of illegal gratification can also be proved by circumstantial evidence in the absence of direct oral or documentary evidence.
